ShelfLamp: A Multifunctional Design by Giorgi Maghradze

Combining Light and Functionality in a Minimalistic Form

The ShelfLamp stands out with its multifunctionality, capable of being used as a floor or table lamp, as well as a wall-mounted lighting fixture. When used as a shelf, it provides a platform for displaying various interior objects such as plants, vases, and books. The two separate pieces of the design can be arranged in different combinations, allowing for customization to suit individual preferences and spatial requirements.

One of the standout features of ShelfLamp is the mirror placed between the light source and the inside walls. This clever addition creates the illusion of deep inner space through mirror reflections, adding a touch of intrigue and visual interest. Despite the use of concrete, a typically heavy material, the ShelfLamp remains surprisingly lightweight and easy to move around, making it a practical choice for those seeking a versatile lighting solution.

The construction of the ShelfLamp involves a meticulous process. Wooden planks form the basic structure, providing stability and support. Foam plastic is then added to give the design volume without adding extra weight. The planks and foam are coated with a special cement solution, ensuring a strong bond and a smooth finish. After the cement has dried, mirrors are affixed to the internal walls, and a T4 fluorescent lamp is installed, offering the flexibility to change the lighting color as desired.

With dimensions of 33.25.11 cm and a thickness of 0.5 cm, the ShelfLamp is designed to fit seamlessly into any interior. Its sleek and minimalistic form makes it a perfect addition to modern spaces, while its functionality and versatility cater to the needs of contemporary lifestyles.

Giorgi Maghradze, the mastermind behind the ShelfLamp, has successfully created a design object that combines form and function in a harmonious way. The inspiration for this design came from the fast-paced modern world, where space is often limited, and the desire to create a piece that encourages users to be creative and rearrange their interiors. The ShelfLamp is a testament to Maghradze's dedication to creating exceptional light design that enhances the quality of life.

Recognized for its ingenuity and creativity, the ShelfLamp was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category in 2016. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon designs that demonstrate technical and creative excellence, contributing to improvements in quality of life and making a positive impact on the world.
